Britain says it is considering criminalising the act of forcing someone into a marriage under moves to tighten immigration policy.
Prime Minister David Cameron said on Monday that Ministers would examine whether existing law could be changed.
Currently, a potential victim can apply to a civil court for a protection order and anyone breaching that order can be jailed for two years.
Mr. Cameron said Britain should strengthen its response to the issue and draft a new criminal offense.
He also pledged to introduce stricter tests for marriage visas, aimed at weeding out immigrants who conduct sham weddings to win access to the U.K.

Web hit magnet
Optimize your Web site's keywords with this powerful analyzer.
Web sites incorporate keywords to get search engine hits and attract visitors. A1 Keyword Research from Micro-Sys makes it easy to find the right keywords and phrases to optimize your content and attract Web traffic. It builds a wide variety of keyword lists for nearly any Web site. It even checks all spelling and grammatical variations, displays ranking graphically, and handles multiple Web sites and search engines.
The developer's experience shows in a blistering fast installer and an attractive, efficient interface. The title bar tracks the trial period, an unobtrusive placement we'd like to see more often. Optional tool tips make A1 Keyword Research a quick starter, but there's also a prominent Easy Mode button that simplifies the functions until you're confident. Tabs access settings and controls for the four main functions, Scan website, Analyze website, Research keywords, and Online tools. We tried both Easy and Advanced modes; their chief difference is in options, not functionality. For example, Advanced Mode adds fields for Root path aliases and for initiating outside scanning paths to the Web site directory root path tab. We liked the keyword researcher's time saving capability to analyze both live Web addresses and raw text inputs. The Quick Presets button on the Scan website tab reduced the complexity of an impressive array of filters.
The fully functional download of A1 Keyword Research is free to try for 30 days. We tested it in both Vista and Windows 7. It installs desktop icons without asking and leaves program folders behind when it's uninstalled, but it's otherwise a solid, stable, trouble-free performer.

It's been years since Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz hooked up, but animosity towards the couple is still riding high—especially from Alicia's female fans.
While some have forgiven and forgotten, plenty of fans still have no qualms about demonstrating their frustration with the Grammy winner. They take to urban blogs and message boards to leave comments like "homewrecker" and "slut" on any given post mentioning her.
So you may be asking, "Why hasn't Swizz received the brunt of the criticism?" After all, he was the married party. Well, perhaps women did not think very highly of the hip-hop producer to begin with. There were constant rumors in the industry of him being a womanizer while he was married to Mashonda. So, this type of behavior from him did not come as much of a shock. But for Alicia, it discredited her sista-hood.
It appears fans now see the singer in a not-so-positive light. In fact, there are at least four legitimate reasons why fans might still be holding on to their disappointment toward Alicia:
Reason 1: She Justifies Her Bad Behavior
Alicia seems to believe that Swizz is her soulmate and that they were meant to be. If you follow her on Twitter, you will see that she comments on things in a very metaphysical manner. She is quite the "moon-child." Now, I have some moon-child traits myself, but I don't use them as a reason to justify my bad behavior.
In a recent Vibe interview, Swizz claimed that he tried to get Alicia's phone number in 1998, when they first met, before he was ever with Mashonda. He got shut down then. "It wasn't our time yet," he told the magazine.
The article goes on to explain:
"There was another encounter several years later. The two split the check for a business lunch and in the midst of some usual after-meal payment confusion, Swizz ended up with the 'Fallin" singer's credit card in his back pocket. The couple, who married in 2010, would eventually look at their quirky encounters as signs of fate. 'My credit card was in his pocket,' Alicia said. 'Why was my credit card in his pocket?'
'It was the craziest thing,' Swizz remarked."
I don't know about you, but when I read that, I threw up a little in my mouth. She sounds as cliché as the mistress who claims that the husband would not have cheated on his wife if she were keeping him happy. It is apparent that Alicia feels that the two were meant to be, and for her, that justifies however they came together and whomever they hurt in the process. Let us not forget that Swizz was a married man and that Alicia was very much aware of that fact. Also, as a side note, by Alicia presenting herself as being a moon-child and a free spirit who is one with the world, we come to expect her to have higher morals than that of a person who is less connected to her fellow man. I know I did.
Reason 2: She Was Our Homegirl
Women viewed Alicia as their homegirl from up the street. She was only about 18 or 19 when she first hit the scene with her hit single "Fallin'," so, fans grew up listening and bonding with her over life, love, men and other coming-of-age experiences. We saw her grow from a tomboy with braids to a confident, beautiful, young woman. As her music matured, so did we.
Much like other women in my age demographic, I literally grew up listening to singers like Alicia and Beyoncé. Years of supporting an artist can make you feel as though you know them intimately. So, you can understand why many fans become so opinionated over the lives of these women. So much so that when they commit what we see as a life-altering mistake, we are quick to offer our opinions and criticisms of them—whether they appreciate it or not.
Reason 3: She Is Not Apologetic
Judging from her Vibe interview and her overall public demeanor, Alicia has expressed no feelings of remorse about her actions or their effect on Mashonda.
What rational person would expect Alicia to feel the need to apologize for decisions she's made in her life? Obviously, the average fan is far from being rational when it comes to the artists they chose to obsess over and support. In fact, they place high expectations on these people—rational or not.
While fans might not expect her to write an apology letter, they were still disappointed that Alicia blatantly ignored Mashonda's request that she leave her then-husband alone. Mashonda has said that Alicia has never apologized in any form for the way things went down.
I have news for you: She never will. She does not feel that her actions were in any way wrong. And any feelings of regret were perhaps quickly replaced with a diamond ring and new baby, all courtesy of Swizz.
Reason 4: She Is No Longer The Woman That We Can Relate To
While Alicia has spent most of her career perfecting her role as the best friend in our heads, she quickly flushed that persona down the toilet by involving herself with a married man. You see, before this, she was widely relatable; but now, she is the "other woman," someone we love to hate.
She conjures up the worst fear of a lot of women, whether married, dating or single. The idea of a woman knowingly sleeping with a man in a committed relationship—a man that could easily have been their significant other—is upsetting.
So now, all of the familiarity and sympathy is shifted to Mashonda, the abandoned wife, while Alicia is viewed as the slutty mistress who stole her husband.
Some of the respect Alicia's fans once had for her has been lost. It is a sad place for both to be in.

3.3 lbs LME Dark 3.3 lbs LME Amber .5 lbs chocolate malt .5 lbs roasted barley .5 lbs caramel vienna 1.5 oz UK Target hops (local store out of Fuggles) 1.5 lbs Flaked Oats 1 lbs Dark Candi sugar (or turbinado or molasses?) Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale 2 oz. Bourbon soaked wood chips (two weeks prior to adding to secondary) -Steep crushed grains @ 160 for 30 minutes -Add LME and bring to boil -Boil for 15 minutes and add Hops -Add sugar/molasses -Continue boiling for 45 minutes -Remove from heat and cool quickly -Pitch yeast @ 75 degrees -Primary for one week -Transfer to secondary and add oak chips -Secondary for one month -Add priming sugar and bottle for one month So that's the general idea, I'm sure there are a few things that should be changed. Any advise is appreciated. Be gentle it's my first time!!!
I remember when I wrote my first recipe. It was also an extract. My friend recommended that the extract I used be pale as it is easier to duplicate what you made if go all grain. If you plan on going all grain in the future and you wish to take this advice, find out what grains and at what ratios go into the extract you are using. Then add those to your specialty grains. Also, I would leave it in primary for 2 to 3 weeks and then move to secondary. Fermentation is the only thing primary can be good for. The yeast will do a better job of cleaning up after themselves after fermentation with a larger cell count thus leaving you with a cleaner beer. I used to do the 123 method (1 week prim., 2 week secondary, 3 week age) and have moved to the 3 week prime, minimum 2 week secondary, minimum 1 week aging method and find that beer is superior in every way to the first method I used.
I was curious about the primary time, a few recipes I was looking at just seemed to be too short of a time, but hey I'm new what do I know. Thanks for the tips.

By Kristina Uriegas-Reyes in Style on Apr 09, 2011
Spring is in the air, which means so is prom season. In celebration, a few designers and models have released prom photos of themselves from back in the day. Amongst the adorableness is Betsey Johnson who, turns out, was prom queen in the frilliest, puffiest, pinkest dress imaginable. This picture just makes me so happy because, her hair might be kookier, but really not much has changed. Would you expect any less from Betsey?

What Guys Think Links: The Ins & Outs Of Manscaping
By Tom Miller
Football season! You may not be seeing much of your guy in the next five months. Consider it a vacation.
How important is honesty? Some say it's the best policy. However, can we be always honest in the context of a relationship? What about withholding the truth? The men (yours truly inclusive) of Good Men Project take on the trick of telling the truth.
A good husband is truthful, right? What else is he? Is he a good provider? Is he a handsome? Is he a smart? Role Reboot thinks that a good husband has emotional intelligence. Which is something that can be taught, unlike the SAT.
Denigrating your lady's lady business is not a very smart thing to do intellectually or emotionally. Em And Lo have a story about a man who insists that any lack of vaginal "squeeziness" on his girlfriend's part is proof (in the pudding) of infidelity.
Did you hear about this French judge awarding a women roughly $14,000 in a divorce just because her husband was too tired for sex? Very Smart Brothas takes on the $14,000 itch and putting a price tag on your sex abilities. I've never had any complaints but I think I could probably charge enough to but all of Morrissey's albums every two or three months. Win $550 Worth Of Luxury Goods From Henri Bendel!
Outside of thunder in the bedroom, there are a few things in a relationship that everyone is looking for. How About We has ten of them and they don't even mention the ability to complain without you wanting to choke them.
"Constantly talking about his ex" is not something that most ladies put high on the list of "must haves." College Candy has their resident dude take on a story of a man who has a very complex relationship with his ex and the woman who loves him.
Before you do something, you usually like to practice it, right? It turns out that living together mayn't be something you want to practice before marriage according to Ask Men. Evidently, the data are stacked against cohabiting people making a long-term go of it. Please keep in mind that no one is arguing that you shouldn't practice making babies before you actually try to (except various fundamentalists of several religions).
Men are simple, unchanging cave-people, right? Hah. I say "Hah!," young woman. Men can learn things and I can change and you can change and we all can change! Per Glamour, men learn things in college like all the time. Some of those things happen to be about women and only most of them are biological or involve bedding them with madcap schemes.

help getting text properties...
Can someone point me towards some documentation or sample code on how to detect the properties of text that the cursor is on? Like what Mickeysoft does when you move around with your arrow keys in a word document and the font type field is changed based on the text your on. I need to know how to detect the text properties (font type, font size, bold on, italics on, etc.) and how to modify what is selected on a select type form field (not it's contents but what's actually selected).
Any help is appreciated, thanks folks.----------------

And you want this in Javascript? So are you talking about the kinds of things this forum is capable of doing while you're posting a message?
In that case, search this forum using key words like "selected text" or something like that. Here's a thread I posted some stuff in that might be useful:
Lots of users have wanted to created a BB or forum type website like this from scratch and they've posted a lot of their troubles and the like here. So there's lots of information to find.

Exotic Kondo effectsContact Andrew Keller (ajkeller@) for more information.
Most conducting materials can be understood in terms of effectively non-interacting electrons. However, inducing strong interactions between electrons and their environment can give rise to novel ground states. Our approach to understand this behavior is to use semiconductor nanostructures to control and manipulate systems composed of a few electrons. In particular, we induce complex interactions between manufactured 'islands' of electrons (quantum dots) and their electrical leads (Fermi reservoirs), which we characterize by measuring transport. We primarily study interactions that may be described as variants or analogues of the Kondo effect: a many-body interaction wherein a localized degeneracy is screened by itinerant electrons. We are presently studying a parallel double quantum dot system where both spin and orbital degrees of freedom may be important, and uniquely we can achieve pseudospin resolution of a Kondo effect at an orbital degeneracy [1].

Supplemental Coverage Option for Winter Wheat
Supplemental Coverage Option for Winter Wheat
Tuesday, USDA announced the implementation of the new Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) that was authorized in the 2014 Farm Bill.
SCO will be available for the 2015 crop year for producers of corn, cotton, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, spring barley, spring wheat, and winter wheat.
SCO is only available to farmers who sign up for the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. Those who select the Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) programs at the county or individual levels are not eligible for SCO.
Since winter wheat producers will have to sign up for SCO this fall prior to having all the details on PLC and ARC, they may (for this year's crop only) purchase SCO and withdraw coverage later without penalty on any farm where they have elected to use ARC for winter wheat by the earlier of their acreage reporting date or December 15.
A fact sheet on SCO is attached, as is a map of availability for wheat.

Nonviolent Peaceforce
The neutrality of this article is disputed. (January 2015) |

Website | Official Website |
Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a nonpartisan unarmed peacekeeping organization with the goal to protect civilians and reduce violence in areas affected by armed conflict. In partnership with local groups, NP teams of Unarmed Civilian Peacekeepers aim to apply proven strategies to protect threatened individuals and communities, deter violence, and help to create space for local civil society actors to build sustainable peace. Nonviolent Peaceforce holds Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.[1] Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium.[2]
Mission and Vision / Alternative to military intervention[edit]
"The mission of Nonviolent Peaceforce is to promote, develop and implement unarmed civilian peacekeeping as a tool for reducing violence and protecting civilians in situations of violent conflict.." Its Vision is "a world in which large-scale unarmed civilian peacekeeping using proven nonviolent strategies is recognized as a viable alternative in preventing, addressing, and mitigating violent conflicts worldwide. Our primary strategy for achieving this vision is the creation of space to foster dialogue." [3] It is a common assumption that only armed military forces or the police can do the work of peacekeeping. However, unarmed civilians have been successfully 'keeping the peace' in violent conflicts all over the world. And their numbers are increasing. All forms of peacekeeping, whether military or civilian, involve the use of various methods of exerting influence and pressure in order to change the behaviour of armed actors. These range from pure coercion that comes from the barrel of a gun to the much more subtle (and generally more effective) methods that convince and/or assist armed actors to behave differently. Between these two extremes lies a wide range of strategies which seek to influence those who are engaging in violence or abuse of civi-lians. For NP military interventions in violent conflicts may do more harm than really help protecting the lives of civilians.[4] Therefore NP prefers to implement the concept of "Civilian Peacekeeping" defined by Christine Schweitzer as "the prevention of direct violence through influence or control of behaviour of potential perpetrators by unarmed civilians deployed on the ground." [5]
Professional preparation and on-site explorations before deployment[edit]
The concept of NP is based on the belief that civilians in areas of violent crisis are entitled to and require highly qualified assistance. To train its peacekeepers, NP developed an elaborated curriculum, initially based on the trainers manual "Third-Party Nonviolent Intervention / Opening Space for Democracy" by George Lakey and Daniel Hunter. With time, training experiences and respective evaluation led to an even more concentrated qualification model to prepare women and men with a sound knowledge of civil rights and nonviolence for their deployment in a particular region.[6] Applicants have usually completed different training courses before, such as those of the Academy for Conflict Transformation (Germany) or courses by Training for Change (USA), by Peace University Stadtschlaining (Austria), by Institute for Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding (Switzerland), by International Alert (UK) or by PATRIR (Romania).[7] Recent "Mission Preparedness Trainings" of 15 days duration have taken place in Asia and South America. Regarding the personnel, NP is the only organization working in this field that has peacekeepers not only from Western and/or industrialized countries, but also from Latin America, Africa and Asia.[8][9] When receiving a request for unarmed civilian peacekeeping, NP sends an exploratory team to the respective region. This exploration mission might be completed in a few weeks as in Guatemala 2007 for a rapid deployment, but might last longer than a year as in South Caucasus 2011/2012.[10][11]
The Making[edit]
Background / Organizational development[edit]
In the last century, people in several countries repeatedly called for a Nonviolent Army or Peace Army to replace military interventions in violent conflicts and to protect vulnerable civilians. Especially renowned pacifist organizations as well as humanitarian groups, most of them being engaged in anti-war activities, felt the need to complement their efforts by developing constructive alternatives to the military. They explored nonviolent and reconciliatory instruments of conflict transformation and conceived respective models with effective structures, even though they found it hard to win donors, endorsers and volunteers. The best known of these new organizations, Peace Brigades International, concentrated successfully on the protection of individuals. During the 1990s, David Ray Hartsough, an US-Quaker and civil rights activist, trained civilians in Kosovo in nonviolent strategies and travelled around the globe to discuss the possibilities of large scale nonviolent interventions in regions where a violent conflict was looming or had already broken out. Seeking support for his vision, he got the opportunity to address a greater audience during the Hague Appeal 1999 in the Netherlands and explain what nonviolent intervention by trained teams could be like. Mel Duncan, former US-member of the Nicaragua coffee/cotton brigades during the Contra war of 1984, had developed similar ideas and was looking for allies like Hartsough. By the end of the conference, they together with other activists from the Netherlands and Germany who shared their vision were planning for a Nonviolent Peaceforce. The organization was founded near Delhi / India in 2002 with peace advocates from 49 countries attending the inaugural meeting. The pilot project of NP was started in 2003 in Sri Lanka.[12] NP was later invited to intervene in a lot of crisis regions, but concentrated, after one short-term engagement in Guatemala, on the deployment of peacekeepers in the Philippines and in South Sudan. It recently took up a new mission in South Caucasus (2011/12).[13][14] The organization has grown during the time of Executive Director Mel Duncan (who served until 2009 in Minneapolis/USA). The central office moved to Brussels / Belgium in 2010 (Executive Director Tim Wallis). Nonviolent Peaceforce is registered in the US as a 501(c)(3) organization and in Belgium as an AISBL and was given a Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping (UCP): concept and practice[edit]
General frame work/ UCP in action[edit]
The work of NP is part of worldwide efforts of civil society organizations to overcome violent conflicts and to protect civilians. During the last decades, there has been a tremendous rise of non-state peace activities, either as an alternative or in addition to official state or UN "Peace" missions, sometimes even as part of governmental strategies. Many of these civilian peace efforts aim for Conflict Transformation (Paul Lederach: "Conflict transformation is to envision and respond to the ebb and flow of social conflict as life-giving opportunities for creating constructive change processes that reduce violence, increase justice in direct interaction and social structures, and respond to real-life problems in human relationships.") [15] Since the launch of the UN Agenda for Peace (UN General Secretary Boutros Ghali, 1992) the following distinction of various peace activities is generally accepted: Peacemaking, Peacekeeping, Peacebuilding. All NGOs working in related fields use these terms to describe their mission. NP concentrates on Peacekeeping. For NP Peacekeeping is about preventing, reducing and stopping violence, but – according to its own feasibility study – this also requires bringing conflicting parties together. Civilian peacekeeping is a new term. It involves unarmed individuals placing themselves in conflict situations in an attempt to reduce inter-group violence and protect civilians.[16] NP specifically uses the designation Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping (UCP). There are many non-governmental as well as governmental organizations that engage in UCP, using a variety of methods and approaches. NP usually works in conflict areas where a ceasefire already exists, but reconciliation is still nowhere near. Its approach to UCP relies on dialogue with the armed actors in order to help them change their behaviour. The emphasis lies on building relationships of mutual trust and understanding and precludes the 'naming and shaming' that other UCP initiatives may involve.[17] NP's concept is community-based, working with local actors. Trained peacekeepers go into the conflict zone, live among the people there and try to develop trusting relationships with all parties to the conflict. They are non-partisan, but they take the side of affected, non-combatant civilians and defend their human rights, especially the right to live.,.[18][19] The concept is also focused on prevention. The peacekeepers try to follow up rumours that could cause an eruption of violence, they train local and regional groups and administrative bodies to use civil protection tools and thus help them to protect themselves. NP's work is focused, but also limited to the level of individual and community security needs. However – as the first NP project in Sri Lanka has shown – the presence of NP could not stop the ongoing war between the Sri Lankan army and the LTTE continuing in other parts of the island.[20]
- Sri Lanka (2003-2011)
The Convening Assembly of NP- decided to launch the first project in Sri Lanka. Starting point and connecting factor was the ceasefire agreement between the main actors in then 20 year-old civil war, the Sri Lankan Army (SLA) and the Liberation Tigers Tamil Eelam (LTTE) that gave rise to some hope for a longer term peace agreement.[21] NP worked in a number of different fields: On invitation from a Sri Lankan organization that observes elections (PAFFREL [22] ). NP peacekeepers served as international election observers and were present at political ralleys before the pending elections when there were often violent clashes between political party militants. They were also involved in the protection of children's rights – financed by UNICEF – and the liberation of child soldiers. During this assignment, they supported relatives of abducted youths, provided safe homes for those released and transferred some of them toeducation projects of NGOs. Another focal point was providing space for meetings between antagonistic groups, giving support to local reconciliation activists by being present during their activities if necessary. Field team members also accompanied internally displaced people or collated human rights details in camps of internally displaced persons in projects financed by UNHCR.[23] The up to 30 NP professionals working in Sri Lanka could help people at local level, but they could not stop the war that reoccurred in 2008 and came to an end only when the SLA defeated LTEE in May 2009.
- Mindanao/Philippines (2007-)
In Mindanao/Philippines a ceasefire was also the starting point for the invitation of NP by local peace organizations (e.g. Mindanao peoples Caucus and Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society). After a short time, NP Philippines was part of the International Monitoring Team to oversee the ceasefire agreement between the Philippine Army and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a guerilla organization that sought independence and later self-determination for the Southern island of Mindanao. NP is responsible for the Civilian Protection Component which had its antecedents (and still relies on) the Independent Fact-Finding Committee and Bantay Ceasefire. In the meantime there are some 80 international and national professionals working either as Civilian Peacekeepers in the 'normal' assignment of NP or as Civilian Protection Officers in the Civilian Protection Component of the International Monitoring Team.[24]
- Guatemala (2007-2008)
The - "rapid-response" project of NP in Guatemala focused heavily on accompaniment of human rights defenders, a method that used to be the core work of Peace Brigades International. NP was invited by the Unidad de Protección a Defen- soras y Defensores de Derechos Humanos (UDEFEGUA), the Protection Unit for Human Rights Defenders led by Claudia Samaoya, then also co-chair of NP. During the presidential elections taking place in September and November 2007, violence tended to increase and especially human rights defenders were threatened. Therefore a small team focused on accompanying the human rights defenders or being present in their office day and night. As planned from the start, the project was terminated in February 2008. It was designed as a short-term project. The three field team members were volunteers and did not receive a salary, as field team members usually get. According to the NP homepage, this short-team project had a budget of less than 100.000 US-Dollar.[25]
- Southern part of Sudan, now Republic of South Sudan (2010-)
After the cancellation of a proposed project in Uganda, the peace agreement between Sudan and the Sudan Liberation Army as well as the planned independence referendum in South Sudan in January 2011 provided a starting point for exploring and later implementing a project in Sudan/South Sudan. Two Sudanese organizations, the Institute for the Promotion of Civil Society (IPCS) and the Sudanese Organization for Nonviolence and Development (SONAD), invited NP to assist in preventing violence before and during the forthcoming elections and referendum.[26] The more general task, also for the time after the referendum, was to build up local expertise for preventing and mediating in inter-ethnic conflicts in the region. The assignment was led by a Sri Lankan peacekeeper who was responsible for the protection of children in Sri Lanka. In South Sudan UNICEF financed a similar project, especially for Ugandan child soldiers who were recruited by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The field offices have been extended to eight teams.[27]
- Southern Caucasus/Georgia
Georgia is torn apart by conflicts with Russia and – somehow connected with this – by the separatism of Abkhazia, and South Ossetia. After an intensive exploration mission in the region (now extended to Nagorny Karabach, the conflict region between Armenia and Azerbeijan), a first field site was set up in 2012 in Shida Kartli (Georgia Tbilisi-Administered-Territories), a region which is adjacent to the disputed South Ossetia.[28]
- In exploration
- Kyrgyzstan
The exploratory project in Kyrgyzstan began with an invitation from a rather different conflict party: It was extended by the new government - Fehler! Hyperlink-Referenz ungültig.- in 2010. The background is that after a revolution against President Bakiyev in April 2010 there were violent conflicts between Kyrgyz and Uzbek people with a toll of 356 deaths and nearly 300,000 internally displaced persons, especially in the Southern regions of Osh and Jalalabad.[29]
Organizational Elements[edit]
Structure / International backing by NGOs[edit]
The work of NP consists of three pillars: projects in conflict areas / lobbying, especially within United Nations as well as European Commission and European Parliament / training. The organizational and administrative day-to-day duties are carried out by the secretariat - headed by the Executive Director (at present Tim Wallis). The programmatic work {on projects, explorations, budget and policies} is the task of the international board called International Governing Council (IGC).[30]
Nonviolent Peaceforce is an international network formed by some 60 member organizations from all continents. The members - usually active peace, human rights or development organizations - try to raise awareness for the work of NP in their respective countries and elect NP representatives. In some countries, those engaged with NP form a national organization, e.g. NP Japan, NP South Korea and NP Canada (see respective websites). In the US, NP is organized in so-called chapters which are focusing on fundraising. The International Governing Council (IGC) consists of two representatives from each of the following world regions: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Middle East. There are two co-chairs, one treasurer and one secretary who form the executive management.[31][32]]
Project design and Financing[edit]
The UCP projects are usually organized as follows: There is a Project Director who is responsible for the whole project. Departments for Fundraising, Communication, Human Relations and sometimes for special tasks (e.g. Ceasefire Monitoring in the Philippines or Special Deputies for Children's Rights in South Sudan) are supporting the Director. There is also someone who is responsible for security matters. Usually there is a main office as well as field offices in selected areas of the country of intervention.[33] Regarding the financing one has to distinguish between funds for administrative and internal purposes and projects. The first area is financed by donors, most of them are from US and many have a Christian background, the second by Western governments, international organizations like the European Commission or UN-organizations like UNICEF, UNHCR or UNDP.[34]

I'm looking at buying some land this year and in a few years having a house built. I have around $5000 in credit cards and have a car loan.
Is it better to save up so I have a large down payment or to pay off all my credit cards but have less for the down payment? I could pay off my car loan by the end of the year but then I wouldn't have any money for a downpayment. Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Getting a land loan is tough...much harder than financing improved land. Lenders to not like land loans. My guess is that you'll need, at minimum, 25% down payment. There are many banks that won't lend over 50% & a few that won't lend at all on raw land. The days of rolling 100% site costs into a construction loan are, thankfully, over. The amount of your CC debt + car loan doesn't mean much without knowing your entire financial picture. For some people, that's an excessive amount of debt & for others it's peanuts. For a land loan these days, I can almost guarantee you'll need to be a prime borrower. So, with that in mind you can decide the best path to preparation to purchase that building site. Best wishes. /tricia |

Hi Kaffine, 'What Triciae said' at a minimum..... PLUS; I *rarely* advise carrying a credit card balance (UNLESS its 0 APR, 0 fees, and you are using several for "teaser credit roulette" which I also really do not recommend for anyone not a screaming time-and-detail freak (of which I am definitely not.)) I also *try* to advise clients to buy vehicles with cash (terms for cars are rarely beneficial,) so if you have additional cashflow you can 'save' I would PROBABLY suggest paying down the vehicle loan(s), and off the revolving cards. Lastly, building a custom home is *generally* best done if you already own a home, and have accumulated some equity and reserves. Your first post doesnt' really say one way or t'other... so if that's not the case, you *may* want to replan a little. Of course, we're always standing by to offer our 2 cents here! Cheers, |
Thank you. Looks like I might try and find a small house on a large lot then. I could have used the advise on CC balances a few years ago. I finally figured it out when I saw I was paying $100 a month in intrest on one card. I almost have them paid off. I don't own a home now. I was planning on buying the lot and paying it off before construction. |
If you have c/c debt, then you most likely will qualify for a smaller mortgage in whatever house you eventually buy. The reason being is the lender will take into account the amount of your car and c/c payments and deduct them from your qualified mortgage payment. It really is best to go into a mortgage with no debt, especially if you are a first time home buyer. There are many expenses that crop up making it difficult to pay off c/c balances. |

One advantage on construction loans is that loan to value can revert to loan to cost once the land is paid off. This means your down payment on the construction loan can be the land, an additional vehicle rather than tying up cash. The major drawback is the crazy interest rates construction loans command. Perhaps Dave has more particulars here. |
Right now I'm looking at a small house on a 1 acre lot. It's bank owned and they are starting to drop the price into the reasonable area. I make around $65k a year before taxes and have been at my job a little over 3 years. Currnetly my car loan and credit card monthly payments toltal $775. I'm looking at $125k to 150k purchase price. I have about $10k that I can get for a downpayment. Do you think I will be able to get financing or do I need to keep saving for awhile? I'm not in a hurry to buy but I would like to buy this year. Thank you. |
This is what I'd do if I were in your shoes (take it with a grain of salt if you wish): 1. Don't really know much about the car (if that's your only one, how much is owed, and how soon you'll have it paid off), but if you can't get it paid off within the next 12 months (or sooner), I'd sell it. If you're upside-down on the car, take a loan for the difference, and so you can sell it. If that's your only car, save up a couple grand for a used car that you can own free and clear. 2. Clear out that CC debt - at nearly 8% of your worth, to me that's too heavy on CC. One moderate financial emergency or a lay-off would break you. You don't need that stress in your life. For me, I'd have to be a renter till I cleaned up these debts first. I know prices are great, but I'd want to get rid of those debts that are nothing more than a ball-and-chain on your life. Save up more cash, and get rid of that debt with a vengeance - that's the way I live my life. |
I agree with the above about paying off the cc debt AND after it's paid off, pay the balance off every month! CC's have horrendous interest charges. Not a good way to borrow money, which is essentially what you're doing when you have cc debt. |

What is a Seaweed Bath ?As the name suggests it is a bath full of hot sea water with seaweed added but to confine the answer to a factual description is to do a great injustice to what it is, to the thousands of people who enjoy it, the ultimate bathing experience .... Imagine that you are immersed in an enormous bath, luxuriating in expensive bath oils, as you relax experiencing weightlessness .. you are floating in a tranquil amber tinted sea of unashamed luxury ...... You are enjoying the unique experience that is a Seaweed Bath. The silky oils are those extracted from seaweed by a simple process, nothing is added, nothing is taken away - simply natures best. The water in your bath is seawater pumped in from the unpolluted seawaters of the Atlantic that lap in the shore just a stones throw away from your bathroom. The amber tint in the water is caused by the extraction of iodine from the seaweed, one of natures richest sources of this therapeutic element.
In 1912, the year of the 'Titanic', the doors of Kilcullen's Bath house were first opened for business. The Bath House had been built for the purpose on a site acquired by the Kilcullen family as far back as 1898. The Edwardian building hailed at the time as 'Kilcullen's modern Bath House', an attempt to set it apart from a much older establishment dating from the middle of the 19th century, is today as it was then. Ironically it is that 'modern' building that now gives the bath House its quaint Edwardian charm, a time capsule to remind the bather of the simple elegance of a bygone age. The beautiful Edwardian fittings comprising the original enormous glazed porcelain baths, solid brass taps and panelled wooden shower cisterns which a decade ago would have been considered dowdy, now combine to provide the unique ambience of the Bath House. For almost 100 years and into the fifth generation of ownership in the same family, the Bath House opens its doors for the Summer tourist season.

Radiation therapy may be used to treat endometrial cancer. Radiation may be given internally by placing radioactive substances in the vagina (vaginal radiation). Or it may be given externally by delivering radiation from an outside source (pelvic radiation).
If you need to have radiation, your doctor will plan the most effective treatment for you based on the stage and grade of your cancer.
Studies called clinical trials are being conducted to find ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat endometrial cancer. Talk with your doctor to see if clinical trials are available and to find out if you are a good candidate.
People sometimes use complementary therapies along with medical treatment to help relieve symptoms and side effects of cancer treatments. Some of these therapies that may be helpful include:
Mind-body treatments like the ones listed above may help you feel better. They can make it easier to cope with cancer treatments. They also may reduce chronic low back pain, joint pain, headaches, and pain from treatments.
Before you try a complementary therapy, talk to your doctor about the possible value and potential side effects. Let your doctor know if you are already using any such therapies. They are not meant to take the place of standard medical treatment.

Honda Accord (1998-2002) Maintenance and Repair
elroy5 Posts: 3,741I'm guessing it's the electrical part of the ignition switch. If you start the car, but don't let the key go all the way back to II position will it keep running? That points to the ignition switch. There may have been a recall on the switch for your car. I would check that out first. You may get it fixed free of charge, if there was a recall.
aztraz Posts: 3For the past 2 months I've been having a problem with oil in the radiator. It all started when I got small punctures in two radiator hoses and the car ran hot really badly. I've replaced all the hoses, even the top and bottom ones. Now it's just a matter of replacing the head and/or gasket I suppose.
My main question is this: What are the odds replacing the head and gasket will do the job? How likely is it I have a cracked block instead? I've seen other forums where other people have had the same problem, and 9 times out of 10 it's a bad head and gasket, but it's that 1 scenario where it's a cracked block that worries me. Is it worth it try to replace the head and gasket and hope for the best, or am I taking to big of a risk on the off chance my engine's block is damaged?
Specs: 99 Accord LX, 4 cyl, 2.3L, ULEV V-TECH, auto trans.
Thank you in advance for any advice. -
aztraz Posts: 3Anyone know the timing sequence or have the diagram for a 99 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl 2.3 L ULEV VTECH? I'm getting those repairs I mentioned earlier done and that's the only missing piece to the puzzle.
Can't find the Honda repair manual or the Chilton/Haynes books in stock anywhere except online and I need the info a lot sooner than when they can be shipped. -
aztraz Posts: 3I found a new head for less than 350, I got the head gasket set for 100, and my labor guy is willing to do the job off the clock for 400 bucks. Total with oil, new filter and coolant, about 875.
I might not even need the head, so if I have to return it that'll save me about 275 (350 minus 75 dollar restock fee to send it back) -
lucas123 Posts: 7I own a '98 honda accord and the ride has been getting a little rougher with more rattling over bumps recently. I replaced the front with stock shocks from a friend's accord (who totaled the car) about 4 years ago. The back were replaced about 3.5 years ago with monroe sensatrac. I live in Los angeles and frequently drive on the winding sunset blvd. Would replacing my shocks/struts with monroe vs. KyB Gr-2 make much difference? Or do I need to get better struts? Tokico? (I know those can be pricer) Also, agility handling is not as crisp as before (it is 10 years old). What about sway bars? Or changing the sway bar bushing kit? My tires are not too bad right now (yokoh....brands), so I'm not worried about that. I'm trying to keep my car for another 1-2 years, but was wondering what the best thing would be to do to keep good agility and suspension. I don't mind if it's a little stiff like my friend's Acura Tsx....that handles really well...thanks.
smadures Posts: 1So it seems that I was trying to lower the rear window with the driverside window control and my son was trying to raise the window with the controll on the backseat door at the same time. The window slipped most of the way in the window slot. I can hear the motor trying to go up or down when I push the power window button but the window doesn't move. Does anyone know what might be the problem and how to fix it?
elroy5 Posts: 3,741Sounds like your regulator cable broke. Bad thing is, I don't think you can buy just the part that's broken. They sell the regulator as a whole, if not the motor too, which means big bucks. Pushing both switches at the same time, should have just canceled the switches out electrically. It should not have forced the window in both directions. Maybe the cable was about to go anyway.

azcardsfan Posts: 2I have a 99 accord and recently the factory installed alarm goes off whenever. The battery in the remote went dead so was using the key to unlock. I have also checked to make sure the wire to the security system in the door was connected. It is. I have taken out the horn relay for now, but would like to know if the security system can be disconnected and if so, can I do it or does it have to been done at a dealership? Thanks for any help you can give.
don_nc Posts: 8I have a 99 ex v6 with 117k miles and had a rebuilt tran installed about 5 yr and 60k mi ago. It has started shifting similiar to yours (feels like it goes into nuetral between 1st and 2nd shifts for about 2 to 3 seconds and then shifting hard), but only in the morning and for the first couple miles. I'm thinking about having it looked at and at least getting the tran fluid flushed. Keep us posted on what you find
mitchflorida Posts: 419
azcardsfan Posts: 2
don_nc Posts: 8I checked my records and the tran fluid was changed about 20k miles ago when the 100k service was done. The dealership called this morning and said a new trans was needed (again). Ugghhh!!
Has anyone else had to replace the transmission twice and if so, how much did Honda cover ? Original price is $2900 and the dealer offered to reduce it to $2200.
Thanks -
marvin6 Posts: 72I have a 2000 accord lx 4 cyl auto that I bought new. I have maintained it very well and have had no problems other than one motor mount and some serious transmission issues. There was a class action suit against honda for transmissions that I fell under and I have had three rebuilt transmissions put into my car - all done under warranty by honda . Each rebuilt transmission has clunked when shifting - to include the current transmission. I have simply learned to live with that. My concern is the loss of power. I live in northern alabama and with the original transmission my car almost never downshifted. Since the original transmission, each rebuilt transmission in my car has been the same - my car shifts at every little hill. On the interstate I cannot use cruise control as I will be going 4400 rpm at 70 mph on any hill. I prevent that by anticipating hills and running to about 80 before the hill. With the original transmission, my car ran about 2800 rpm at 70 mph. With each replacement transmission it runs about 2500 rpm at 70 mph and thus it shifts all the time. With the lower rpm I would expect better gas mileage, but I have lost about 4 mpg with the rebuilt transmissions. I have done all the maintenance and put new plugs in at 50k and 100k and they did not alter the mileage. Any suggestions?
blufz1 Posts: 2,045I'd be tempted to try a drain and refill of the ATF. Otherwise, you could take it to another dealer and shop price on a replacement trans. Maybe then go back to your current dealer to see if they would better the price. Note that an above poster got 3 free transmissions. So negotiation will save you some money.
marvin6 Posts: 72I now have 113k on my car and my transmission is still under warranty. Each rebuilt transmission comes with a 3/36 warranty. The only problem is - in my opinion - is that they are inferior to the original transmissions. In fact, the dealership actually put a rebuilt honda transmission in my car and the it was worse than the one that was being removed so I had to wait a couple more days for another transmission to come in from Honda. In retrospect, I should have gotten rid of the car when the transmission was first replaced, but we live and learn.
gkepler1 Posts: 4I have a 1999 Accord, with the 4 cyl. engine, appox. 120,000. Engine was rebuilt around 98K, with timing belt, fluids, belts, water pump. It has been oil changed since new with regular oil. I wanted to know what the advantages are to switch to synthetic oil, and if there's a particular way to switch, i.e engine flush, etc. Thanks!
jodar96 Posts: 396If synthetic oil is not recommended for your engine ( and I know it is NOT for this engine), switching to synthetic oil just increases your oil change expense and makes you feel better.
Regular oil is just fine for your car. Just stick to 3K mile oil change interval. I have heard that switching to synthetic oil in an older engine could actually cause oil leak/seepage around seals/gaskets/piston rings and increase your oil consumption. That is due to superior flow characterisitic of synthetic oil.

elroy5 Posts: 3,741My last Accord (92) had to have the oil pan removed, and the oil pick-up screen for the oil pump cleaned out, even though I changed the oil every 3,000 miles. This was just after 100k miles, using Castrol GTX 5w-20 oil. I have switched to Mobil 1 on my 03 Accord thinking it will prevent sludge build up in the engine. The car started out on conventional oil, then switched to Syntec, then to Mobil 1. The car now has 67k miles, and no oil leaks, or consumption issues.
